Definition: The instrument which measures the storage factor or quality factor of the
electrical circuit at radio frequencies, such type of device is known as the Q-meter. The quality
factor is one of the parameters of the oscillatory system, which shows the relation between
the storage and dissipated energy.
The Q meter measures the quality factor of the circuit which shows the total
energy dissipated by it. It also explains the properties of the coil and
capacitor. The Q meter uses in a laboratory for testing the radio frequency of
the coils.
